@HighTechForum Indeed. Per this 1995 NYT article, DEC first "made [it] available to the Web-browsing public at no charge," and "[i]t is expected that Alta Vista will draw large crowds to Digital's Web site and act as a showcase for Digital's own Internet products." https://t.co/RwO1aRMtrM — PolitiTweet.org

OTD in 1995, Alta Vista launched. One of the 1st successful Web search engines, it went from 300K hits on its 1st day to >80M by 1997 and was the 11th most visited website in 1998. But it steadily lost ground in the early 2000s, primarily to Google, finally shutting down in 2013. https://t.co/kb3ULV1u01 — PolitiTweet.org
